The Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake, originally ranging from LV3-LV5, forcibly broke through to the highest level under Limuru's mimicry.

Louis's eyes flickered slightly.

With this, Limuru's cultivation strategy might need some adjustments.

It's important to realize that some magical creatures are terrifyingly strong at lower levels.

However, as their level slightly increases, they completely vanish.

——Because these creatures simply do not exist at higher levels.

"Master Merlin, is the Shu Gexi race truly this absurd?"

Merlin snorted and said:

"This is entirely normal. After all, they are war weapons cultivated from the outer realm. The ancients were a powerful race that roamed the astral, proficient in gene modification."

"Shu Gexi is their legacy."

"Shu Gexi has no language and can only express themselves through changes in their bodily forms."

"Similarly, they have no voice and can only mimic the voices of their former masters."

"The Shu Gexi from the land beyond are nightmares with terrifying and unnameable appearances, comparable in size to ancient or even primordial dragons."

"They resemble amorphous parasitic blobs, with semi-transparent bodies that can pass through sunlight."

"Over a long time, these alien entities from the outer realm evolved unprecedented strength."

"Their ability to constantly self-replace even led them to overthrow the original creators."

"Later, after entering the Star Continent, Shu Gexi began a new phase of differentiation."

"They went to two extremes."

"One group became the dangerous creatures known today as ooze monsters."

"Ooze monsters inherited Shu Gexi's wildness and destruction, maintaining a more primitive appearance and greater power to face external challenges."

"The other group voluntarily gave up power, enhancing abilities of self-division, resistance, digestion, transformation, and evolution."

"But as a trade-off, the majority of them became weak and permanently lost their original intelligence."

"In your era, the latter is called slimes, the most inferior magical creatures that adventurers love to kill."

Louis has read various enchanted bestiaries.

In the vast majority of bestiary entries, ooze monsters and slimes are similar but almost unrelated creatures.

Because even the lowest-level ooze monsters have a challenge rating of at least level 5.

Ooze monsters living in different places, like slimes, have different types, but the classifications are not as varied as slimes.

For instance, Louis's Moonlight Cat Cat Group took on the task of subjugating the Arcane Ooze.

The Arcane Ooze is a subspecies of ooze monsters, almost immune to most magical damage.

Rumor has it that these ooze monsters evolved specifically to counter spellcasters.

The Arcane Ooze has a challenge rating of LV9.

In theory, with a team having paragons, defeating a LV9 should be easy.

But that battle was exceptionally intense.

Magic damage was ineffective, rendering almost useless the elemental damage released when Louis and Alice used their desert wind martial techniques.

The resistance to physical damage allowed the Arcane Ooze to withstand the team's output without suffering fatal injuries.

In the end, it was Louis and Limuru's joint metal control that surprisingly succeeded.

Taking advantage of the Arcane Ooze's tendency to consume anything, Louis unleashed a wave of liquid metal to its face.

Then, as it engulfed the liquid metal but hadn't entirely corroded it away, he triggered a metallic explosion inside it.

The liquid metal, instantly transformed into spiny sea urchins, pierced it like a porcupine.

One could say that the ooze monsters are the most difficult creatures to kill he has encountered so far.

Afterwards, he checked and was shocked to discover that the Arcane Ooze was considered one of the more manageable subspecies.

Other types are more terrifying.

For example, the large mud monster [Fire Mud Monster] with a starting challenge rating of LV7, has a body temperature akin to molten lava, and ordinary melee professions find themselves almost scorched while fighting.

More terrifyingly, Fire Mud Monsters often appear in groups of three to five.

If in large numbers, the superior form of the Fire Mud Monster might appear—

A colossal mud monster [Inferno Mud Monster]!

The challenge rating starts at LV13.

In the abyss, even demons of equivalent level are reluctant to engage.

Do you think that's the scariest?

No, it's not.

It is said that on the Giant Plain, between the Tunisian Republic and the Am Empire, there exists the "moving necropolis" known as [Bone Gel Monster].

This creature, the size of a three or four-story building, is naturally a war weapon.

The Bone Gel Monster, having absorbed a large number of bones, has mastered the secret of bone control.

Anyone who fights close encounters a constant pain of having parts of their bones drawn out.

The overgrown bones serve as its tentacles.

And the Giant Plain is the habitat of the future King of Fury, the Great Monarch of the Dead.

Yes, the Bone Gel Monster's challenge rating starts at LV21.

Below Legend rank, anyone who comes along is one who dies.

As a race capable of rapidly recovering even when half their head is chopped off, the elite reserves of trolls have almost entirely been consumed in internal strife with the Bone Gel Monsters over the years.

In the latest updates of the future diaries, he saw a summary of the reasons for the King of Fury's crusade against the Tunisian Republic.
